Actress Radhika Madan recently shared two unforgettable instances where megastar Amitabh Bachchan personally praised her, leaving her utterly starstruck.
A Letter of High Praise
During a recent vlog with Farah Khan, Radhika proudly showcased her awards and a very special framed letter. It was from none other than Amitabh Bachchan himself, sent after he watched her performance in the 2020 film *Angrezi Medium*.
Radhika’s excitement was palpable as she recalled the moment she received it. Farah Khan playfully teased her, asking if she “died” upon seeing it, to which Radhika exclaimed, “I completely lost it! Main toh behosh ho gayi thi (I fainted)!”
Farah, while reading Big B’s praises for Radhika’s acting, jokingly complained that the superstar had never written to her, adding a lighthearted touch to the discussion.
The Call That Felt Like KBC
As if a handwritten letter wasn’t enough, Radhika revealed another incredible interaction. She received a phone call during the lockdown that she initially thought was part of a game show.
“I picked up and heard, ‘Hi, main Amitabh Bachchan bol raha hoon’,” Radhika recounted. “For a second, it felt like I was on Kaun Banega Crorepati!” The unexpected call from the legendary actor left her stunned and delighted.
The conversation briefly shifted to a humorous exchange between Farah and her staff member, Dilip, about receiving letters, further highlighting the rarity and significance of Bachchan’s gesture.
Old-School Romance and Film Preferences
Beyond the Bachchan anecdotes, Radhika also opened up about her romantic ideals. When Farah asked if she was the “crazy in love types,” Radhika humorously described herself as “nas kata pyaar,” indicating an intense, passionate approach to love.
She clarified that she believes in old-school romance, including writing letters, which led Farah to ask if she was a “Raanjhanaa type of girl.” Radhika quickly corrected her, stating she identified more with the classic romantic film *Veer Zaara*.
Admiration for the Khans
The discussion also touched upon her admiration for other Bollywood legends. Radhika enthusiastically declared herself a Shah Rukh Khan fan without hesitation. She then playfully channeled Salman Khan, stating she was also a “Bhai fan.”
Farah observed that Salman’s films often succeed best when he’s paired with an “Indian, sanskari kind of girl.” Radhika agreed, expressing her love for “Bhai,” before Farah humorously intervened, asking her to use “Salman sir” instead of the informal nickname.
